Satisfactory experience

central locationcomfortable bedhot waterstiff doorpoor showerinsufficient milk
The hotel is centrally located. I found it clean and tidy. The beds are very comfortable and i appreciate the large bathroom. It had piping hot water.
The shower door was quite stiff. The shower itself could use some improvement. I also noticed there was never enough milk provided in the room.

Some Issues Encountered During My Stay

loud musichard to shut door
I had some issues. The noise was a problem! My room faced the bar below. Loud music played until after 11 PM. Then, bar patrons talked and laughed loudly until almost 1 AM. I didn't sleep well. The bathroom door was also hard to shut. This was annoying.

Comfortable and Convenient Stay

The staff was very polite and helpful. The location was perfect for accessing local shops and the beach (only a short walk!).
I found the light pull cord to be quite dirty and knotted. The bathroom door was also hard to shut properly.
